Southern Colorado sees opioid, heroin abuse increase

PHYSICIAN BURNOUT Photo by Ashleigh Hollowell

By Bryan Grossman

t was the evening of Easter Sunday and extended family had left for the night. Trisha (who asked that her last name not be used) called down to her 26-year-old son with a question. There was no response. He had been living in her Colorado Springs home, and she hadn’t heard him leave. “I went downstairs and he was completely out of it on the floor. I kept calling his name but there was no response. Nothing,” she said. “He was still breathing but I got on top and was shaking him to wake him up. I called 911 and the operator walked me through CPR. “I was so frantic. It seemed like forever for the ambulance to get there. I don’t know how long it took them. “It’s the most horrible thing I’ve had to go through — to try to save your own kid’s life. You feel helpless.” When help finally arrived, Trisha dropped to her knees, physically and emotionally exhausted.

AN AFFLICTION It was the second time in two months Trisha’s son had overdosed on heroin. A star athlete in high school, he had been prescribed prescription painkillers before leaving to play baseball on scholarship in Kansas. He returned home as an addict without a degree. According to drug abuse and law enforcement experts, heroin and opioid abuse go hand in hand, as those who abuse prescription opioid-based narcotics often move on to heroin when the prescription or the ability to pay for the expensive drugs runs dry. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 90 Americans die from opioid overdoses every day. NIDA considers abuse of the drug a “national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate the total economic burden of prescription opioid misuse in the U.S. at $78.5 billion a year. That takes into consideration the costs of health care, lost productivity, addiction treatment and involvement of the criminal justice system. And while Colorado has not reached the levels of opioid- and heroin-related deaths seen in New England and Rust Belt states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania, the problem is growing worse locally, with southern Colorado leading other sections of the state. “When we first started to be aware heroin was making a comeback here, it was brought to our attention through the high schools,” said Lt. Mark Comte of the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Metro Vice, Narcotics and Intelligence unit. “That was maybe nine years ago, and it’s been creeping up ever since. I think we’re getting toward the peak of this problem in the community at large.” According to Comte, there’s about a 70 percent correlation between prescription opioid abuse and heroin use, and most who abuse prescriptions get (or steal) medications from someone they know. “A lot of what happens is opioids are taken from a medicine cabinet, or a kid breaks their leg and shares it at school,” he said. And while the demographic for opioid and heroin use once slowed beyond age 25, Comte said today he’s seeing more users in their 30s and 40s.

A world apart Business owners in Pueblo’s oldest neighborhood say they struggle to be heard by their elected officials. Some say those engaged in commerce on the Eastside don’t want the city’s help. Both sides are seeking common ground.

hen branding Colorado Springs as Olympic City USA, the city aligned itself with very specific values: inclusion, respect, equality, inspiration. The brand builds on the foundation laid by Gen. William Jackson Palmer, an abolitionist who fought to maintain the union of the United States, and followed by Fannie Mae Duncan, who operated a club that proclaimed “Everybody Welcome!” during a time when not everybody was welcome in other establishments. We celebrate and honor their contributions with the Olympic City brand. Colorado Springs is set to receive more national attention — not only for its Olympic City USA branding as home of the United States Olympic Committee and the Olympic Training Center, but also for its efforts to create a cybersecurity industry here that can compete with any city across the globe. The city’s attracting business interests — companies drawn to the region thanks to its workforce, its natural beauty and its history. There’s no place here for the kind of violence we saw in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend. There should be no room for hate and divisiveness here. This isn’t debatable, and it isn’t a conservative or a liberal issue. It’s a human issue. Marchers carrying Nazi and Confederate flags and promoting violence against other people should have been relegated to history long ago. The Business Journal believes in, supports and ad-

vocates for the First Amendment, which protects both free speech and the right to assemble peacefully. But that doesn’t mean businesses are required to provide a platform for their speech, nor does it mean our city should welcome a group espousing racism and hatred — ideology that has no place in modern American society. That’s why Mayor John Suthers had exactly the right response to news that VDare, a white nationalist group, would be coming to Colorado Springs in April. The mayor’s admirably direct statement came quickly and forcefully: “The City of Colorado Springs does not have the authority to restrict freedom of speech, nor to direct private businesses like the Cheyenne Mountain Resort as to which events they may host. That said, I would encourage local businesses to be attentive to the types of events they accept and the groups that they invite to our great city. “The City of Colorado Springs will not provide any support or resources to this event, and does not condone hate speech in any fashion. The City remains steadfast in its commitment to the enforcement of Colorado law, which protects all individuals regardless of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation to be secure and protected from fear, intimidation, harassment and physical harm.” We applaud Mayor Suthers for his statement — and we’re pleased that he was heard. Cheyenne Mountain Resort announced Wednesday it would not host the conference. We wish President Donald Trump would denounce the hate group and place the blame where it belongs as forcefully as Mayor Suthers did. The issues dredged up by last weekend’s events still exist. We need to remain steadfast in our commitment to protect and support fellow residents, to uphold the state’s laws and make it clear: In the city where everyone is welcome, there’s no room for hate.

OPINION: HAZLEHURST

Bike race’s cost not worth return to city

n the morning of Aug. 10, trapped in my Westside neighborhood by street closures associated with the Colorado Classic bike race, I decided to walk the dogs down to Colorado Avenue, mingle with the crowds and watch the racers go by. At 9:45 a.m., Old Colorado City was deserted. No cars were parked on the street, no traffic disrupted HAZLEHURST the morning calm — it was just me, the dogs and a handful of other spectators. Colorado Avenue has been a commercial thoroughfare since the 1859, when Colorado City was founded. It was and still is essential to every business owner, every customer, every visitor and every employee. Horses, mules, oxen, streetcars, passenger cars, trucks and even a famous team of elk have served Old Colorado City over the years. It occurred to me, chatting with folks along the Ave, that this might have been the first traffic-free Thursday morning in more than 150 years. It was as if the wheels of commerce had come to a grinding halt — and indeed they had. At 6 p.m., after the street had finally opened, we met friends for a drink at Tapateria, a popular restaurant in the heart of OCC. “It was a disaster,” owner Jay Gust said of business that day. “We had three tables for lunch, and look! This is one of our busiest days of the week, and summer is our busiest time.” Only a handful of cars were parked on the avenue, almost none on the side streets. Although the rain had long since stopped, the sidewalks were deserted.

John

“I estimate that we lost about $3,000 in business,” said Gust. It was the same story throughout OCC, a national historic district with the largest concentration of locally owned businesses in the city. Many are disproportionately dependent upon the summer visitor trade. You can’t make up for a weekday shutdown in August by staying open later in February. The race created traffic jams on Interstate 25 and throughout the city. For many residents, visitors and businesses, it was a gigantic goat rope, an epic fail. Council President Richard Skorman feels your pain — and he has some of his own. He owns four adjacent businesses on Tejon Street — a bookstore, a wine bar, a toy store and a restaurant. “I can’t tell you how many angry calls and emails I’ve gotten,” he said. “Main street merchants were very severely affected. We usually do about 10 times as much business. Thursday, we just stood around.” Don’t blame Skorman for the mess. Blame the 2016 city council, which allocated $500,000 in revenue from the Lodgers and Automobile Rental Tax to support the event. That, in retrospect, may be a consequence of inaccurate assumptions about economics, city branding and Millennial preferences. We want favorable national publicity, we want to spend LART money attracting visitors, we want to cater to the tastes of Millennials and we want economic impact. So, remembering the

fun and visibility that the USA Pro Challenge brought here in 2011, 2012 and 2014, city council took the bait. The problem: Past experience suggests world-class stage races aren’t sustainable in Colorado. Red Zinger, Coors Classic and the Pro Challenge all folded, brought down by Economics 101: “How do you monetize a sports event that people can watch for free?” Answer: You get someone else to pay for it. Millionaires, advertisers or taxpayers — until the well runs dry. Its corollary: “How can you prove that a one-time televised event has a $500,000 economic impact?” You can’t. As a prominent local economist once told me, “Every economic action has an economic impact. The problem is measuring it.” Yet in this case the economic impact is negative and measurable, and city officials can fix it. They may not be able to compensate us for lost time, inconvenience and wasted hours spent in traffic, but they can make amends to businesses. Why not give restaurants and retailers in OCC and downtown a two- or three-week sales tax holiday? Skorman would have to recuse himself from the vote (and no, it’s emphatically not his idea!), but I don’t think Mayor John Suthers or Skorman’s eight colleagues have any similar conflicts of interest. Honorable mayor, honorable city councilors: You spent half a million in tax funds intended to support and promote the visitor industry on an event that caused substantial economic damage. Your bad, so fix it! CSBJ

For many residents, visitors and businesses the bike race was a gigantic goat rope, an epic fail.

Special Communication from the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado

Accelerating the Evolution of Business Special Commentary by Jonathan Liebert On August 23rd, the Colorado Institute for Social Impact (CI4SI) will officially launch. Due to the overwhelming excitement from our community and across the nation, the initiative known as the Colorado Coalition for Social Impact (CCSI) has evolved into this new organization. Since CCSI’s first Town Hall a year ago, we have received numerous requests for more education, more events, more resources and innovation as it relates to the Fourth Sector of the economy, referred to as the Social Impact sector. Within the spectrum of the Social Impact sector, a business may be a Social Enterprise, Social Business, Conscious Capitalist, or Benefit Corporation. Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado (BBB) is a social business, dedicated to the wellness of our community and trust of buyer-seller transactions that drive economic activity within our region. CI4SI is a social enterprise of BBB and is a separate organization with a distinct Board of Directors (many of whom are social impact practitioners), operating budget, and focus on the Fourth Sector. CI4SI will provide Social Entrepreneurs with resources, training and education for their Social Impact businesses. It is the mission of CI4SI to Accelerate the Evolution of Business by harnessing the powerful engine of capitalism to maximize social, environmental and economic impact in our region.

Our Vision It is our belief that we must think beyond the bottom line and look to businesses with a higher purpose to lead us in the new Impact Economy. We believe Social Impact can evolve capitalism and that social impact businesses can inspire others to strive for a higher purpose. We believe Social Entrepreneurs can reshape the economy, provide enormous societal value and bring elegant solutions to social problems. We

believe Social Impact can align a business’ values with its customers through transparency of the business goals and measurement of their impact on the community. We seek to bring people together in this sector to build on each other’s successes and failures, evolving business with collaborative competition. We seek to accelerate the evolution of business, starting in our own community. We believe that Colorado Springs is the ideal location and is well positioned to lead the national movement on Social Impact.

Get Involved and Join Us Upcoming initiatives available through CI4SI will include: education and training on launching a new social impact business or converting an existing non-profit organization or business, networking

events, consultation services, social return on investment (SROI) measurement analysis, first of its kind social entrepreneur assessments, an annual Social Impact conference; and the annual PRISM awards, honoring local social entrepreneurs creating impact in our community. The PRISM awards are held in March. In addition, CI4SI will provide more awareness of the Fourth Sector of the economy to the public and be the catalyst for more businesses that generate a social impact. Visit on new website, CI4SI.org, after our launch to learn more about the Institute. Follow us on social media at Facebook.com/CI4SI and Twitter@CI4SI for articles on Social Impact and upcoming events. We invite you to be a part of this growing movement as we Accelerate the Evolution of Business.

Physician burnout a danger to patients By Helen Robinson

hen the last straw came, Dr. Aaron Fraser was seeing 120 patients a week for 5-7 minutes each. He was putting 40 hours a week on the timesheet but unofficially working more than 60. He had some of the best patient satisfaction rates at the Air Force Academy — and was taking care of some of the sickest patients. He was taking all of that in stride. Then an administrator told him he needed to increase his “bookable appointments” to 90 patients. Yes, Fraser was already caring for far more than 90 patients per week, but he was seeing 35 of them in a clinic setting he’d developed for his “worst of the worst diabetic patients” — and they didn’t count as bookable appointments. “I said, ‘So you’re asking me to add five more appointments above and beyond what I’m doing, when I’m already going above and beyond?’” Fraser recalls. “I said, ‘All right, we’re just going to get rid of everything, we’re just going to go to 90.’” The administrator was back next quarter, “sweating bullets and … saying, ‘Can we go back to the way things were?’” Fraser said. “But I was pretty much done.” Within months, he left to establish Flying Horse Medical Center with business partner Ryen Hitzler, also a former Air Force officer. They wanted to focus on patient care and relationships, not paperwork and metrics. “One thing I did learn in the military is if you want to do something about it, do something about it — don’t just complain about it,” Fraser said. “I saw the way we were practicing medicine was unsafe. I was getting See Burnout page 25

raditional bed and breakfasts have been around for centuries, but they’ve been challenged in the past decade by the influx of thousands of Airbnb startups.

ONE-ON-ONE

Newbrough: A passion for music, people By Audrey Jensen

athan Newbrough, president and CEO of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, is entering his 10th year at the nonprofit organization. Since being named CEO in 2008, Newbrough has pulled the philharmonic out of financial turmoil and significantly increased attendance, ticket sales and subscribers. “There was the perception that the orchestra was just about one step from going under,” said Newbrough. “Whether that was true or not, that was the perception in the community, and it’s so important to me that what we say about ourselves … has got to be positive about the potential for what can be.” Now the organization is bringing in 60 percent of its revenue in ticket sales and 40 percent in donations, which is the opposite of the U.S. standard in this industry, he said. Season and single-ticket sales in 2014-15 totaled $1.7 million. The next year the Philharmonic brought in $1.9 million, and during the 2016-17 season, a total of $2.17 million in revenue was generated, said Catherine Creppon, the Philharmonic’s director of advancement. So far the 2017-18 season has produced $1.3 million in revenue, and single tickets just went on sale Aug. 16. In the upcoming season, the Philharmonic will perform 48 shows in their 19-concert series. Newbrough graduated from Appalachian State University, and after working for the League of American Orchestras, he volunteered as general manager for the Greenwich Village Orchestra in New York in 2000. He was then executive director for the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes in 2001 and became executive director for the Amarillo Symphony in Texas in 2004. The Colorado Springs Philharmonic board of directors selected Newbrough as president and CEO in 2008. Newbrough spoke with the Business Journal about the Philharmonic’s successes over the past decade. What is the Philharmonic’s impact on the city? It’s over $8 million a year in economic impact. The direct impact would be that we pay all of our musicians; we pay the Pikes Peak Center. Most of the expenses that we have are local or regional. When you come to a concert … you may do all these things that surround the concert, which tells us that the cost of your ticket is not the only expense you have that night, it’s also the businesses that you patronize as part of your experience. I think businesses should know we are a way to reach out to a very select group of community members. People who appreciate quality; they’re extremely loyal and they’re the die-hard community members. But beyond that, this is a cultural asset. It is a reason people move here. … When families are considering a move to Colorado Springs, when they’re considering a vacation here, they’re saying, ‘What kind of community is this?’ Simply put, [the Philharmonic] is a tremendous community culture asset. It is a source of community pride and it is such great music.

NATHAN NEWBROUGH It’s been important to be passionate about the music.”

What would you attribute your success to as CEO? It’s been important to be passionate about the music. It’s been important to be genuine about my relationships with people. It’s been important to trust them to do their best [whether they’re on the board, on staff or a musician], and it’s been important to have deep relationships with members of the audience. It’s a challenge, but it’s one I’m taking on to make some level of relationship with all of them, so they know they can trust what we offer next. How would you describe your leadership style? I think any successful leader of an organization is going to have a strong empathy for the people they work with and the ability to relate to them. It’s also based on a deep love for this music. [Sometimes] you have to give yourself a locker room talk to say: ‘Never, never, never give up.’ There have been times during these 10 years, especially early on, when things were very dark. Behind the scenes for the orchestra, being relentlessly positive is something that’s needed all the time. What advice would you give to other CEOs or anyone in the music industry? It’s about people — it’s about the musicians on the stage; it’s about the composers that we honor; it’s about the members of the audience; it’s about the leadership behind the scenes. It’s about the community at large that benefits from having a world-class symphony orchestra. Keeping those things in mind while going through the daily grind is so important. CSBJ n

“We’ve hired eight to 10 people the last four years,” Pohlman said. “It’s hit or miss, but we get a lot of people in our system at the job fairs who might fit what we need later on. We’re specifically focused on IT, but we’ll talk to anybody who is there looking.” Rice said the workforce landscape is excellent for prospective professionals. “If you’re a professional and you want to be working, you should be working,” she said. “The older professional may have a little bit harder time, but we can help them brush up that resumé.” Rice said businesses have a tendency not to hire older workers, but need to overcome that prejudice. “That is nothing new; it’s been around for eons,” she said. “What we have now is a crisis in skilled workers, and businesses have to open their eyes and realize that someone in their 50s is going to be there, they have a work ethic, they’re going to be loyal. There have been many studies that prove older workers don’t necessarily come with more health issues, which has been a myth in the past.”

AN EMPLOYEES’ MARKET Rice said job-hopping is common, especially when money is the issue. “People jump from one job to another for 25 cents [more] an hour,” she said. “It’s this employees’ market and they can decide where they want to be. Once they find the right fit — so it’s got the

right culture, the right pay, they’re fitting in with the team and they’re able to do what they do best every day — they usually stop that kind of jumping around. Another quarter isn’t going to change what the environment’s like.” Rice said health care leads the pack in hiring needs in the Springs, but there is also a shortage of teachers. Pamela Mireles is manager of recruitment for UCHealth Services, including locations in the Springs. “I’d say we get a handful of hires at each [PPWFC] job fair or a good pipeline of candidates and we do our best to attend all or most of them,” Mireles said. “A lot of those people are already employed but looking for different or better jobs. We do have a lot of people moving to health care, it seems.” Mireles said registered nurses are almost always needed, along with medical assistants. She noted that the health care industry also offers jobs in marketing, human resources, information technology and hospitality, which includes housekeeping and cooks. “We’ve done a few nursing job fairs of our own in Colorado Springs,” Mireles said. “I’d say those were moderately successful. We’re always recruiting locally as well as nationally.” Pohlman said employers can’t be too picky these days. “If they like a candidate, they’d better hire them,” he said, “before somebody else does.” CSBJ n

SMALL BUSINESS

Sports are in the ‘haus’ at local business

By Bryan Grossman

he goal for those who show up to 4845 List Drive for work each day is simple: Pack the “haus.” SoccerHaus, located near the intersection of Centennial Boulevard and Garden of the Gods Road, has been open for a year now, and the facility (which offers more than just soccer) continues to add programs and partnerships to fill out its 48,000-square-foot space. Retired Army Col. John Riding is majority owner and CEO of the operation, and his son, Brett, is chief operating officer. The concept for the multisport complex, according to Brett, came following a negative player experience at another indoor soccer facility. “[Teammates and I] were sitting at Old Chicago afterward and drafted a concept of an ideal sports complex as it pertained to soccer,” Brett said. “My buddy was going to the [Colorado] School of Mines to become a civil engineer. He sort of designed the structure and the things we wanted inside, like our weight room and the Upper 90 Tavern restaurant up top so people weren’t drinking beer in the parking lot. “Basically the idea came after a poorly called game that cost us a championship and a T-shirt. I was working on my graduate degree and thought it was a good concept to do a graduate business plan on. It transformed into 86 pages. I was denied by about 12 different banks but acquired some partners along the way to ensure we had proper collateral. “Finally it moved forward, three years later.”

‘TAKE IT INSIDE’ Brett Riding has a deep history with the Beautiful Game. He graduated from high school in Virginia and moved to Colorado Springs to play at UCCS thanks to a scholarship. He would then leave the country to pursue a professional career in Italy. After two years abroad, he returned to Colorado Springs and earned the first of two graduate degrees in business from Colorado Christian University, where he developed the SoccerHaus concept. “We wanted to be sure the idea was sustainable, and part of that was doing a feasibility analysis,” he said. “Could the demographic and population here support it? What do we need to build? What’s the average income around here? “Those things played a big part, but it wasn’t hard to get community or partner buy-in because this is a soccer- and sports-oriented community. This felt like a missing component — a niche.” The challenge was convincing lenders the community needed such a complex. “For the banks, it’s a roll of the dice,” he said. Brett said they earned some attention following the

feasibility study, which showed strong community engagement in soccer. “We looked at how many leagues there are — Pride, Rush, Corinthians — all these other sports clubs. But there was also interest because of our weather factor. You don’t know if there will be a blizzard from one day to the next or a torrential downpour or hail. It limits your ability to go outside and enjoy the sport.” Brett said those leagues were losing quality training time because of limited outdoor options. “Why not take it inside and utilize our fields?” he said. The first year, Brett said, was a great success. “We had a fantastic year,” he said. “It totally exceeded our expectations. But because we’re new and learning, there were some cost overruns, so now we can look at where to shave some labor or advertising costs. But the majority of our revenue has been generated from our league play, then it’s field rentals and then our restaurant. Those are the top three revenue drivers.”

‘YMCA MEETS CHUCK E. CHEESE’S’ SoccerHaus isn’t resting on the laurels of a successful first year and has plans to expand beyond its league football footprint. The business, for instance, now owns half of a startup professional indoor soccer team, the Colorado Inferno FC, which will begin its inaugural season in a brand-new league in December. The team will make SoccerHaus its home within the Major Arena

Soccer League’s second tier and will play teams from around the state and country. SoccerHaus has also partnered with personal fitness training company Man2Machine, as well as Mighty Kicks, a soccer development program for children started by former Switchbacks’ captain Luke Vercollone. The business also signed a franchise agreement with San Francisco-based Hi-Five Sports Clubs which, according to program director Jessica Dominguez, will introduce multisport classes and camps for kids. “Our biggest focus right now is our day-off-school camps which will be, for instance, during teacher workdays,” Dominguez said, adding kids will be exposed to flag football, T-ball and other schoolyard games. The partnership with Hi-Five is a strategy to increase daytime business, when SoccerHaus experiences the greatest downtime. “The best way to describe it is: YMCA meets Chuck E. Cheese’s,” Brett said. “It’s designed to teach kids the importance of sportsmanship. … When kids demonstrate attributes of good sportsmanship, they get coins. Once you build a certain amount of coins, you can buy a water bottle or Frisbee or puzzle. “Before Hi-Five we didn’t have that engagement, curriculum or structure,” he said. “That’s part of building this culture of community and sports. We want positive energy — and there’s nothing more positive than a smiling kid.” CSBJ n

SWIGERT ACADEMY PARTICIPATES IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy in Colorado Springs is among five Colorado schools that will participate in a program about the importance of water. A $132,400 grant was awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to the National Space, Science & Technology Institute, which will create the middle school environmental education program to be implemented during the next two school years. Participating schools have high percentages of students in demographics underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) higher education programs and career fields.

ENT RAISES $45,000 FOR MISSION Ent Credit Union raised $45,000 for the Springs Rescue Mission during its summer philanthropy campaign. During Ent’s two-month fundraising campaign, employees organized a car wash, barbecue lunch, contests, jeans days and bake sales in support of Springs Rescue Mission’s downtown Colorado Springs campus expansion. The first phase of the expansion allowed the mission to extend services, and provide consistent assistance every day in the form of two shelters housing 32 women and 168 men throughout the year, a resource center with 16 public showers, computer stations for job searches and applications, and kitchen services.

ENT REPRESENTATIVES EARN AWARDS Ent Credit Union’s Tanya Duboue, Laura Figgie and Jessica Kouri — all registered representatives with Ent’s broker/dealer CUSO Financial Services, L.P. — earned 2016 Pacesetter Awards from CFS. The awards honor the top-producing registered rep-

YOUNG PROFESSIONAL

Adair sees potential in Springs community and economy By Audrey Jensen

hile some might find it scary entering the work world right after college, Beka Adair embraces being one of the youngest employees at her organization. After graduating from Colorado College in 2016 and interning at the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC for three months, Adair was offered the first economic analyst position at the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC last August. Adair’s role varies each day, she said, but over the past year she has gained valuable experience working on several projects for the organization. One of these projects included co-creating and directing choosecoloradosprings.com, a website that provides outside employers with information on the Springs workforce, housing, schools and lifestyle. Most of what she works on revolves around workforce and talent-attraction issues, she said. “That’s been my job,” Adair said. “And also connecting with the entrepreneurial community and making sure they have all the resources they need.” In addition to her projects, Adair spent nine months investing in the community by going to local professional and entrepreneurial events. Adair graduated with a bachelor’s in economics and a minor in Russian. She moved to Colorado Springs from Houston in 2012 to pursue her degree in economics, a field that runs in the family. Though born in Dallas, she lived in Kyrgyzstan from 1996 to 2006 with her parents. She stumbled upon Colorado College after taking an annual trip to Estes Park for a family reunion in 2010, and applied for admission a year later. Adair spoke with the Business Journal about her role at the Chamber & EDC, what she likes about working in Colorado Springs and what she would tell other young professionals who want to work here. What do you like about working at the Chamber & EDC? I enjoy that my job is never the same any day. New projects come up all the time; it’s never just one thing for an extended period of time. I’ve gotten to meet people that do everything and I’ve really enjoyed that. Right now we’re working on

this startup accelerator; I had no idea what went into that, but now I know something. Or creating a website. I had no idea of what goes into that, so I just get to learn new things all the time and I love that. What do you like about working in Colorado Springs? I love that I can walk into a coffee place or a restaurant and know people. It’s the coolest feeling ever. I was always kind of drawn to the idea of a small town, like “The Andy Griffith Show” … and that’s what it is here. In Colorado Springs right now, young people are being listened to in a different way than at least I’ve heard before. The way I describe it to people, especially when I’m talking to students about Colorado Springs, is: You can go to Denver, you can go to San Francisco or Austin and be one in 100 million young people trying to change the world, but in Colorado Springs you’re one in a relative few who are very involved. To have that kind of say and influence — that’s a really special thing and I don’t think you get that everywhere. In Colorado Springs, you can be part of a changing city, and that’s really exciting to me. How would you describe Colorado Springs economic standing? I learned there’s a lot more to it than I ever dreamed, especially in the art and culture world. … You’re not going to have a 100,000-person concert, but that’s not ever what I’ve liked anyway. Obviously [Colorado Springs is] growing crazy fast. Just new things, new businesses, new opportunities are popping up all the time. It’s kind of intimidating, but I think it’s exciting too. Especially to be part of this city as it’s figuring itself out. What advice would you give to other young professionals? Beyond just being intentional about getting to know people, it feels in this city like everyone wants to support young professionals. Just ask for what you want and ask for what you need, and people will be there and they will support you. I haven’t lived in a ton of communities. I’m not sure how it works everywhere, but here people are always incredibly accommodating and gracious with their time and their resources — so just ask. CSBJ n

Experts shed light on Darknet risks N By Helen Robinson

o business can afford to ignore the Darknet. Whether the target is a multinational corporation or a two-person company, a CEO or an entry-level employee — when cybercriminals steal information and credentials, the Darknet is where they go to sell it. “We’re all in the firing line. The world of cybersecurity is plenty scary, and it’s going to get even scarier,” Mark Turnage, CEO of OWL Cybersecurity, told participants at the Cybersecurity Oversight Training event Aug. 10. Local businesses learned about the Darknet and how to protect themselves from socially engineered attacks at the event, presented by the National Cybersecurity Center in partnership with Colorado Springs Business Journal and Firma IT Solutions. “Not knowing about cyber risks — particularly the Darknet or the Dark Web — is like failing to do due diligence before opening a store in a high-crime area...” Doug DePeppe, cyberlaw attorney at EosEdge Legal, said in an email. “First, there’s the inherent risk in a cyberattack that a business’ crown jewels or its customers’ valuable assets will get stolen, and the business risk and brand risk associated with that. Secondly, failure to employ due diligence measures for those sort of harms can create legal exposure.” Turnage, whose company specializes in monitoring the Darknet, describes it as the internet you can’t get to from Google — “an ingenious system that anonymizes users completely and securely.” The internet has three layers: the surface net, which can be accessed by search engines and represents about 2 percent of the internet; the deep web, which includes password-protected sites like company networks; and the Darknet.

The Darknet refers to a network of servers not tied in to the surface net. Cybertheft expert Adam Levin describes it as “where the cyber underground convenes.” The Darknet started in the mid-1990s when the U.S. government established the Tor privacy network to protect intelligence communications. “Who uses the Darknet? Privacy advocates, law enforcement, military, researchers, political dissidents — they’re legitimate users,” Turnage said. “But guess what? It took about a nanosecond for the bad guys to figure it out.” Now, the Darknet is also “the anonymous street corner [for] drug sales, counterfeits, hacked and stolen information, weapons dealers, terrorists, assassins, porn — I can’t even begin to tell you how horrible it is,” Turnage said. “Our estimate is that the majority of the Tor network today is illegal use.” Those same cybercriminals stealing credit card information, passwords and Social Security numbers turn to the Darknet to sell them. It doesn’t matter whether you have much in the way of assets or staff — all businesses are useful to cybercriminals because they’re connected. Phishing and social engineering can be at least as lucrative as hacking, and the risks increase the more digitally connected individuals, companies and devices become. “Social engineering is the act of obtaining personal information via misdirection or lies,” Turnage explained. “I can get on LinkedIn and figure out where you work, where you went to school, get on Facebook and figure out how many kids you have ... and I can build a social profile of you pretty quickly and easily.” Using that information, with email addresses and logos from company websites, a cybercriminal poses as a CEO or supervisor and sends convincing personal emails to obtain anything from employee names and W-2s to vast sums of money.

“I’ve personally seen a case where that email [appeared to come] from the CEO to the CFO ... and it said ‘I’m traveling, I need $70,000 wired to this account immediately’ … Of course they never saw it again,” Turnage said. “You take advantage of people’s desire to be seen to help the hierarchy. ... If one out of 10 responds, you’re making $25,000 an hour as a living wage. That’s your going rate for hackers.” Another boon for cybercriminals: Password fatigue leads many people to use the same information across multiple accounts. “Don’t reuse the same passwords that you use for Facebook, for Gmail, for Amazon — I’m going to show you why,” Turnage said. “Because I’m going to hack into Facebook and get your password then I’m going to jump to Gmail then to your corporate account — and I know where you work because it’s all over Facebook and all over LinkedIn.… Once I have your first password I’m going to jump to all those places and start hacking in.” Turnage pointed to 46,813 U.S. Navy email addresses and passwords now offered on the Darknet by a single Russian website — stolen because sailors used their military email addresses to sign in to other services. Turnage outlined first steps for avoiding the cyber attacks that harvest information for the Darknet: — Use a password manager to securely generate, store and retrieve complex passwords for numerous accounts. — Never click on a link in an email. — Never send sensitive information via email. — Never use your work email address to sign in to any other site. — Never conduct financial business on a public wireless network. — Lock your cell phone with a code. — Use two-factor authentication.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE

Photo by Audrey Jensen

The affordable housing supply in the Pikes Peak region amounts to a half-month’s inventory, and there aren’t any major developments planned to address the affordable housing shortage.

Affordable housing inventory low in El Paso County By Audrey Jensen

s of the second week in August, El Paso County’s available housing supply in the $150,000 to $200,000 range amounted to a half-month’s inventory, specifically 46 listings. That range qualifies as affordable housing, according to RE/MAX commercial broker Donna Major. While the economy has seen steady improvement since the last recession, the thriving real estate market has caused an inventory shortage in single- and multi-family units in all price ranges. The lack of inventory is even more pronounced in the affordable housing price range, according to Pikes Peak Association of Realtors CEO Amy Reid. According to Pikes Peak Regional Building Department records, 2,050 single-family home building permits have been pulled thus far this year. The total number of permits pulled for all of 2016 was 2,041. But there aren’t any regional developments focused on affordable single-family homes, Major said. “In the last six months, we sold 851 [single-family homes]. With [46] listings available, that gives us less than a half month’s supply left to sell. ... That doesn’t leave a lot if we continue down that path,” said Major. “There are just not enough available homes for sale in that price point. There are more buyers than there

are sellers. ... There are not enough people selling their homes, so the prices of the properties are going up.” Reid said she has noticed fewer options and higher prices in real estate over the past few years, and not just in Colorado Springs, but in the state and across the nation. “In the affordable range there’s even less inventory for people to buy from, and that includes not just single-family, but often multi-family [such as condos and town homes] where first-time — Amy Reid homebuyers start,” she said. According to PPAR’s market analysis for July 2017, 720 single-family homes sold in the affordable range, while 402 sold at $300,000 or higher. Out of the 1,646 single-family homes sold, 1,482 of those homes were already built. Reid said for all price ranges, there are two months’ worth of supply for single-family homes and about one month for multi-family homes. According to Major, new listings of existing homes in the $150,000-$200,000 range in El Paso County have increased by 0.5 percent since last July, sales have increased by 5.6 percent and the average sales price of homes has increased by 11.2 percent.

“As prices are rising, that pushes some of those houses at the edge of $199,000 above $200,000 now,” said Major. “We’re not keeping up with the lower-end homes being available. First-time buyers are really [struggling] right now.” As of July, single-family homes stay on the market for up to 22 days as opposed to 44 days in January. The average sale price of homes in the region is $323,247, compared to $287,294 in January. The median sales price is $285,000, according to PPAR records. The number of single-family homes sold this year reached 9,284 in July — a seven-month figure that equals the highest 12-month total since 2013. This number has increased by at least 1,000 each year since 2014, when the total number of homes sold was 6,434. Major and Reid agreed that as housing prices increase and listings in the lower price range decrease, many first-time homebuyers are moving south from Denver to Colorado Springs, while people competing for affordable housing in Colorado Springs are looking at Fountain or Pueblo.

“For builders, it’s hard for them to keep up with the demand.”

SOUTHEAST COLORADO SPRINGS NO CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS Most developments in Colorado Springs are building homes worth more than $300,000, according to both Major and Reid. “The affordable housing issue with single-family [homes] is difficult. We’re not seeing builders build in the affordable range, which brings people to existing housing,” Reid said. “When we see the influx of people moving into Colorado — for builders it’s hard for them to keep up with the demand.” Scott Smith, CEO for the Colorado Association of Homebuilders, said it is difficult to build homes in the affordable housing price range due to the costs of regulations, building codes and labor laws, among many others. “You can’t build a house and sell it for $150,000 and make any money, because your costs exceed the purchase price,” Smith said. “It’s for profit. You can’t make it up on volume if you lose money on every house.” Scott added that labor costs are already expensive and are increasing. And lumber can cost an extra $3,000 on a home, he said. “If you can’t make a profit, no one’s going to build in that price range,” he said.

THE ECONOMIC IMPACT According to Bob Cope, economic development manager for the city of Colorado Springs, workforce housing is the main issue to be solved in order to attract and retain companies in Colorado Springs. “One of the many things they’re considering is cost of housing for their employees, so it’s here where we get compared to other communities,” Cope said. “I would like to have housing that’s available at a cost that most people in the workforce can afford. In addition to having the right regulatory and tax environment,

Workforce housing is compared between cities and is important to employers when deciding to locate in Colorado Springs.

there are ways we could potentially incentivize workforce housing.” Reid added that people are willing to make longer commutes to work in order to live in affordable communities. “We’re having people who work in Denver choosing to move to Colorado Springs because we have a little more inventory and are a little more affordable than the Denver metro area,” said Reid.

Smith said the lack of affordable housing isn’t an issue he sees being resolved soon. “The problem is it really hurts people on the lower end of the income scale, because they have fewer choices in housing,” he said. “It’s a big problem and a big concern. I don’t see anything out there that’s going to turn it around anytime soon. We just try to keep it from getting worse faster.” CSBJ n

Eastside, city officials seek common ground By Ashleigh Hollowell

ueblo’s historic Eastside was the city’s first neighborhood. Today, it’s a hub for small, family-owned businesses that have been in the area for decades — some have been open in the same location for 50 years. But in recent years, the Eastside has shown its age, and many business owners blame an apathetic city government combined with ongoing road construction and closure of a major grocery store for the area’s business woes. “We lost about 30 percent of our business from traffic not passing by to go to Safeway [on 8th Street] anymore,” said Stephanie Ortiz, owner of the Eastside’s Chicken ‘N’ Pasta on 8th Street. She’s run her operation on the Eastside for 34 years. Rod Slyhoff, president of the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, said the area is in a funk and growth has stagnated. “I would not consider it as growing. I don’t know that ‘stable’ is the right word, but I think it’s holding its own,” he said. “I’ve lived here since 1978, and I’m not sure that I can say the Eastside business community as I know it today is much different than it was back in 1978.” See East page 20

Chiles are in Pueblo’s recipe for success By Bob Stephens

onielle Gonzales fondly remembers the days when, as an ambassador for the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, she attended ribbon cuttings and other ceremonies wearing a scarf, necklace and earrings adorned with the likenesses of Pueblo chiles.

Now she’s the chamber’s tourism director and also executive director of the Pueblo Chile Growers Association. “From a chamber and tourism standpoint, chile is huge for us,” Gonzales said. “From a community standpoint, it’s part of who we are.” Rep. Daneya Esgar agrees wholeheartedly.

“As a Pueblo native, chiles go back to my childhood,” she said. “It’s absolutely my favorite food. We make a pot of green chile every week at my house.” The city and county have long been known for their unique product, and that was highlighted even more with the inception of the annual Pueblo Chile and Frijoles Festival in 1994.

CLICK. CLICK. CARE. Photo by Bob Stephens

Dylan Milberger, 19, who has worked at his uncle’s Milberger Farms for five years, roasts a bushel of Pueblo chiles for a customer.

This year’s festival is Sept. 22-24 in the Union Avenue Historic District. “I always connect fall with roasting chiles and having that smell in the air,” Esgar said. “The festival is a unique way to showcase the hard work of so many people and give recognition to the farmers.” Rod Slyhoff, president and CEO of the chamber since 1994, helped start the festival and said he has a T-shirt from nearly all of them. For Puebloans, the festival and the Colorado State Fair are both big deals, he said. Gov. John Hickenlooper even declared the second Saturday of the state fair as Pueblo Chile Day. “Chiles are an important commodity for Pueblo,” Slyhoff said, “although our biggest production crop in Pueblo County is pumpkins.” Still, it’s chiles that people associate with Pueblo. “It’s big, and it’s gotten bigger as we’ve used chiles for our brand for tourism,” Slyhoff said. That goes back to 2015 when the first-ever Pueblo Chile Day seemed to take over the state fair and helped kick off the branding campaign that was made possible by a $144,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture Specialty Crops Block Grant. The grant was obtained by the Pueblo County Economic

PUEBLO BUSINESS NEWS Development & Geographic Information Systems Department.

HOTTER, BIGGER, MEATIER “Pueblo chiles are grown with Rocky Mountain water and Colorado sunshine,” said Chris Markuson, Pueblo County’s director of economic development & GIS, in 2015. “Our cool nights and hot days make Pueblo chiles hotter, bigger and meatier, which makes them superior for roasting.” The main variety of pepper that Pueblo farmers grow is the Mirasol Mosco chile, which grows with its tip pointing upward toward the sun. “Those are unique to Pueblo,” Slyhoff

said. “People talk about Hatch chiles from New Mexico, but there is no specific Hatch chile. It just means it’s from that area and those are usually Anaheims or Big Jims, which we grow here also. We grow about 12 varieties around here, but the Pueblo chile is unique.” — Donielle The branding campaign that began two years ago officially trademarked the Pueblo chile and determined that it would be sold under a common, unified brand. The campaign includes a logo and artwork that is fea-

tured on billboards, road signage and product packaging. The branding campaign produced an overall economic impact of $1.54 million in 2017, Markuson said in an email. He said the overall economic impact of Pueblo chile sales in 2017 is $8.5 Gonzales million. Chiles even helped bring a new business to Pueblo as Jojo’s Sriracha moved from Denver two months ago. Company owner Jolene Collins decided to move after seeing the Pueblo Chile Growers

“I keep Pueblo chile in my kitchen as a staple.”

Association branding campaign, as well as the growth opportunities and the county’s support for small businesses through its Economic Development Department.

SPREADING THE WORD Gonzales said a short-term goal of forming the association was to draw more business to the farm stands and give them more visibility in the community, on social media and on websites for the city, county and the chamber. “A long-term goal is to market better to the rest of the state and nationally,” Gonzales said, “like they did for Vidalia [Georgia] onions.” Pueblo chile grower Shane Milberger, owner of Milberger Farms out on the Mesa, saw an immediate benefit of the association’s cooperative effort in 2015 when he signed a contract with Whole Foods to sell 125,000 pounds of Pueblo chile in the chain’s stores in Colorado, Kansas, Idaho and Utah. The branding campaign continued when Esgar presented legislation to the Colorado House of Representatives to create a Pueblo chile license plate. “We wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Pueblo chile is Colorado’s chile,” Esgar said. The idea sprung from a conversation Esgar had with former Pueblo County Commissioner Buffie McFadyen. “The chile folks got the [3,000] petition signatures, and I just carried the legislation,” Esgar said. “Gov. Hickenlooper signed the bill, but the plates won’t be available until September 2018.” Gonzales moved to Pueblo at age 2 and said her mother, who is from Wisconsin, wasn’t familiar with Pueblo chiles but quickly learned from neighbors after relocating there. “My mom wasn’t used to anything spicy when she moved here,” Gonzales said. “When her family visited here, they learned to crave Pueblo chile and would take it home with them.” Gonzales said she puts chile in many dishes. “I keep Pueblo chile in my kitchen as a staple,” she said. “I put it on eggs, sandwiches, hamburgers, steak. It’s great with cream cheese on a burger. I make green chile stew all the time.” Esgar said she’s even eaten it with ice cream. “I love it with dark chocolate,” Esgar said. “I put chopped green chiles on any sandwich and put it in spaghetti sauce to give it a kick. Pizza is a must. My favorite is to make chile rellenos with green chiles on top — that’s my birthday meal.” Pueblo County Community Information Manager Paris Carmichael said she even likes Pueblo chile with biscuits and gravy, baked potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Slyhoff, who noted that people will buy chiles by the bushel and freeze them to use year-round, said there is even a Pueblo chile beer. “I enjoy Pueblo chile several ways,” Slyhoff said. “One of my favorites is to dice it, add olive oil and garlic salt and eat it on crackers or tortilla chips.” CSBJ n

East: Bump-outs not wanted by some business owners From page 17

Larry Atencio, District 2 city councilman for Pueblo’s Eastside, agrees. “It hasn’t grown at all,” he said. A 2011 Eastside business survey conducted by the Thomas V. Healy Center for Business and Economic Research found businesses reported vandalism and burglary as issues. The survey identified improved police presence, more support from the greater Pueblo area and more pride in the appearance of nearby buildings as factors that would help. Six years later, business owners say

the city government needs to pay more attention to their needs and advocate on their behalf.

‘SO MUCH PUSHBACK’ The Colorado Department of Transportation is currently streetscaping 4th Street, the main artery of the Eastside’s business district. Its initial concept was supposed to improve traffic flow, expand sidewalks and add planters, benches and trees. But business owners fought it, according to Atencio. Then the city wanted to put in traffic circles instead of turn lanes.

But most of the Eastside’s business owners didn’t want that either, Atencio said. “When you get so much pushback and you get so much fight on things like that, after a while you just say, ‘Hey, OK. We can’t do anything to help if you don’t want it,’” he said. But business owners said they didn’t oppose the plan’s wide sidewalks, a two-lane road or planters — none of which are included as part of the current construction — but only the “bump-outs,” which are protrusions into driving lanes at crosswalks, making it easier and safer for pedestrians

to cross the road. Justin Fox, owner of Double J Meat Market on East 4th Street, said the Eastside has always been a good place to run a business, and he’s operated in the same location for 53 years. But he’s not OK with the bump-outs. “We didn’t mind the streetscaping,” said Fox. “It was the addition of bumpouts. …[The city] kept pushing it and pushing it and didn’t listen.” But the bump-outs have erased two parking spaces and have affected his deliveries, which are made by large tractor-trailer rigs. “These large semis, in order to make the corner turns with these bumpouts in place, must take both lanes of Highway 96 and take up both lanes of the street they’re turning into,” he said. “It’s dangerous and it takes up time for people held up behind the truck trying to make the turn, and it’s time-consuming for the driver.”

CITY NOT LISTENING The Double J isn’t alone in its complaints. Business owners created a petition in February 2015 with signatures from 15 Eastside business owners, registering their opposition to the design of the area’s only east-west corridor, state Highway 96 [East 4th Street] between Erie and Joplin avenues. James Popp, one of the owners of Plebian Pools on East 4th Street, said no one from the city seemed to care. “We had business owners sign a paper,” he said. “We brought it to city council saying that we would like to have a little voice in what is going on here. They didn’t even listen to us.” James Popp and his brother Norbert have operated Plebian Pools out of the same location for 36 years. Like Fox, they see traffic from large semi-trucks and fear that one day drivers could refuse to deliver products because of the narrow road conditions. “We were not opposed to beautification,” James said. “We want it. We’ve been wanting it.” But the construction changes won’t suddenly change the Eastside’s business mix, said his brother. “I think they have the idea that we can make this area look like Union Avenue with the bump-outs and that we are going to get boutiques,” Norbert said. “The businesses we attract have to be for this area, and I don’t picture a boutique. This is a different part of town. It has different needs.” Construction on the road and the addition of bump-outs began in early 2017. Since then, the Popp brothers said they have seen three nearby stores close — and they are also struggling. “We’ve seen the Goofy Shack close. The store right next to us, One Love Garden Supply, they closed. And Ray’s Truck Plaza closed his building,” Norbert Popp said. “I don’t think we will get them back that easily. We’re struggling too. James found that we are down 50 percent on retail sales since construction started.” The Popp brothers agreed that Safeway’s closure has also reduced traffic in the business district.

The recent closure of a nearby Safeway, the area’s only supermarket, means fewer trips to the Eastside for many customers. Businesses blame declining numbers on that closure and road work.

They don’t plan to be silent: Norbert Popp has written several letters to city councilors, the city planner and a district attorney to voice his concerns about the project, he said.

‘GOOD THINGS COMING’ Atencio said he recognizes the Eastside has different needs. He says he has been working on multiple projects he believes will be beneficial to his district. “The Eastside is situated so that it is separated from the rest of the city geographically by Fountain Creek and I-25. It’s separated ethnically, economically and culturally from the rest of the city,” Atencio said. “Not that it is a bad thing. The cultures on that side of town are very vibrant. … I can see their reluctance to change anything. [But] some

Another major and often discussed positive effect of ast month, the first piece in the series on marijuana legalization revealed that Colorado’s the legalization revolves around tax revenue.

The marijuana multiplier is so million in tax revenue in 2014. This represents revenue high because of original legislation mandating that from both excise, or “sin,” taxes on the suppliers, which cultivation, processing and selling all had to occur are inevitably passed on to consumers, as well as the within the state, which captures and holds virtually taxes at points of sale.

Lodging: Almost everyone knows about Airbnb From page 6

Both traditional lodgings and Airbnbs collect the same tax of 10.25 percent — with 2 percent of that Lodgers and Automobile Rental Tax and 8.25 percent for sales tax — according to information provided by Colorado Springs Budget Manager Charae McDaniel. If the vacation rental uses other sites for listings, they need a sales tax license. The city actively enforces that, according to McDaniel, but has no other requirements on Airbnb or other Vacation Rental by Owner operations.

OPPORTUNITY IN SPRINGS Erin Spradlin and James Carlson are a married couple in their mid-30s who live in Denver. They say operating an Airbnb was a transforming experience for them. “We got into it because we were dating and spending a lot of time together,” Spradlin said. “It took about an hour before we made our first $100; there’s a great demand in Denver. My parents are doing [Airbnb] in the Springs where I grew up, and they bought a second house to use for it.” Carlson never considered it akin to a traditional B&B because they had been hosting younger, tech-savvy customers. Now just about everyone knows about Airbnb. “It kind of changed our lives,” Spradlin said. “We paid off credit card debt, student loans, bought a car, made a 5 percent down payment on our primary property and bought two investment properties.” They eventually quit their jobs and became Realtors while encouraging others to enter Airbnb’s marketplace. Denver now allows Airbnb hosts to only rent out their primary residence, but there is no such restriction in the Springs. “It’s an amazing investment opportunity for our clients and they’re seeing an incredible return,” Carlson said. “We were doing tiny studios in the heart of Denver. There’s a wide range that I think can be successful in Colorado Springs, from loft studios downtown to a four-bedroom house near Garden of the Gods.” Clark warns that risks are involved when hosting strangers in your home, including damages and theft. During the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012, Clark said she lost about $10,000 in income due to cancellations. CSBJ n

Burnout: Doctors face more paperwork, less time From page 5

burnt out. It was very frustrating because I was being dictated how to practice medicine based on numbers that had nothing to do with patient well-being and had more to do with numbers that were arbitrary. “What we did here was something completely different,” he said. The frustrations Fraser faced are not unusual, according to El Paso County Medical Society CEO Mike Ware. Demands on physicians’ time have been increasing, along with paperwork, regulatory burdens and financial pressures. “Physicians are working two more hours per week than they did in 2011, but seeing 10 percent fewer patients,” Ware said. “At the same time, there’s an increasing gap … between the cost of running the business and what’s being paid.” The Affordable Care Act also significantly increased pressures on physicians. “I recognize that can be a controversial topic, but whether people agree with the premise and the purpose … a lot of regulations and a lot of additional paperwork have come out of that,” Ware said. “A lot of that time takes away from patient care — one of the top complaints we get from patients is the time they get with their physicians has gotten shorter. “There are only so many hours in a day and just to pay their bills [physicians] need to see a certain number of patients, and they’re spending all this additional time on paperwork,” Ware said. He said burnout is a key issue in patient care and practice management, with more than 50 percent of physicians nationwide reporting symptoms. “We get calls from physicians asking for help finding resources because they feel like they’re at the end of their rope and they just need somebody to talk to,” he said.

Some physicians faced such financial pressure, they dipped into retirement savings to keep their practices open — especially after the economic downturn. “We still hear that in some cases, just not as widespread,” Ware said. As a physician in the military, Fraser didn’t face such a choice — but he saw a lot wrong with the way medicine was being practiced both there and in private practices. “You’d be surprised, we can do a lot [in 5-7 minutes] but it’s very frustrating and we miss[ed] a lot. And it’s dangerous,” he said. Physicians didn’t have time to talk and listen to patients, or to deal with multiple issues, he said. Many patients didn’t make that second or third visit for other ailments “because they were frustrated and getting an appointment was difficult.” Like Ware, Fraser said the ACA increased the burden on physicians. — Dr. Aaron “I’m not trying to get political whatsoever, but with the institution of the Affordable Care Act you added 10 million patients to the patient population. You did zero to address the people who can take care of those 10 million patients,” he said. “They’re starting to realize that afterwards and it’s been implemented for seven years now. They’re starting to address the huge gap.” But physicians have a minimum of 11 years post-secondary training, so the shortfall isn’t going away soon. Colorado Springs pathologist Dr. Karen Anthony said: “The literature shows — and physicians report — that they’re stretched too thin; they feel burned out; they feel devalued; they feel like they’re losing

control over their practices; they feel like they cannot directly treat patients like they used to because of having insurance companies or big health systems in the way, or because of the fact that they are employed by a big health system and have to follow protocols established at some level that didn’t really include much of their input. “It definitely decreases productivity when we have people feeling this way,” Anthony said. “I think it all goes back to the turmoil that’s currently happening in health care.” Anthony said she had been able to take more control over patient care by starting her own practice, independent from the hospital. “Most physicians are not doing [that] these days,” she said. “But I can tell you for me it’s worked really well and I have a lot less stress than I did five years ago when I was working in the hospital, when I did feel stretched very thin.” Fraser said the direct primary Fraser care model at Flying Horse Medical Center cut 90 percent of administration and removed all billing and coding. “We’re still accountable, but we’re accountable to who’s important — our patients,” he said. Patients pay a monthly fee for as many visits as they need, including same-day appointments. Appointments are 30-60 minutes, and first-time visits are 90 minutes. “We get to actually know the patients, their families, what’s going on in their life — our patients tell us their goals and we try to help them achieve their goals,” Fraser said. “Both of us made more money in our previous jobs than we do in this job,” Hitzler noted, “and we’re OK with that because we have 1/100th of the stress.” CSBJ

“I saw the way we were practicing medicine was unsafe.”

Addiction: Opioids, heroin clearly affecting this region cocaine combined,” according to the report titled “Prescription Drug Abuse in Colorado: Scope and Impact of the Problem.” Between 2013 and 2015, El Paso County fell in the middle quintile for the state for opioid overdoses per 100,000 people — between 5.4 and 6.6 fatalities.

gram manager with Community Health Partnership, said the problem is becoming more dire here. Steiner is coordinator of the CHP-sponsored Coalition for Prevention, Addiction Education and Recovery. “It’s getting worse,” she said. “We’re not as bad as Ohio and states back East, who have some 4,000 overdose deaths a year. We’re not there, but one thing we emphasize is the importance of mitigating so we don’t get to that point.” The opioid epidemic doesn’t know any race or socioeconomic boundaries, Steiner said. “There are people who start with an opioid prescription and, without knowing how addictive it is, become addicted. If cut off from their prescription medication, that’s where we see the move to heroin,” she said. The coalition has six work groups addressing the issue: one examining access to treatment, another pushing public awareness, one for survivor education, a public safety group, a data group and a family-and-friends group helping those impacted by an addict. “We recognize we can come up with all kinds of recommendations, but until we come up with a readiness assessment to know what the community is ready to implement, it won’t do any good to propose something like a needle exchange program if we’re not ready to support something like that,” she said. The assessment is expected to be released in February.

In 2013, the El Paso County Public Board of Health rejected calls for the creation of Colorado Springs’ first needle exchange program, fearing it would encourage intravenous drug use. Steiner said Colorado Springs is one of the only communities on the Front Range without such a program. “There’s a bigger picture. It’s part of harm reduction,” she said. “But it’s not just a one-for-one [needle] exchange. There’s also a counseling component with the hope that, at some point, they’ll be ready to go into treatment.” Steiner said she is also trying to involve professionals in the community, a demographic that has also been impacted directly and indirectly by opioid and heroin use. “We have tried to get the business sector engaged because opioids don’t care,” she said. “If you have employees who have been injured and are taking opioids, that’s a work safety issue. It’s something workplaces need to be aware of as well.” In fact, the National Safety Council has a calculator so users can estimate the impact of substance abuse on their industry. For instance, an owner of a Colorado construction company employing 40 people will lose $19,247 a year due to employee substance abuse. That breaks down to $7,616 in lost time, $6,139 in job turnover and retraining and $5,492 in added health care costs.

‘NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT’ Following his overdose on Easter Sunday, Trisha’s son regained consciousness while paramedics stood over him in his mother’s home. He refused to be taken to the hospital. The next day, however, Patricia convinced him to go with her to Springs Recovery Connection on the city’s Westside. There he met Cathy Plush, the nonprofit’s executive director. While many rehabilitation options can be extraordinarily expensive, Plush said, her organization exists to listen to addicts and their families and help them navigate the system toward wellness — for free. “When you walk in the door, you will talk to somebody in recovery or the parent of someone in recovery — someone who has walked that walk and can guide you,” she said. “We offer peer recovery coaching, community education and some support programs. You’re not going to fill out paperwork;

we won’t talk about money or who your insurance is. “But we saw a need in this community,” she added. “A lot of people don’t know what to do.” It was through hours of phone calls that Plush was able to find a place for Trisha’s son. He checked into a rehabilitation facility outside Denver and has even found employment thanks to the recovery program. “I’m very hopeful,” Trisha said, having already experienced one unsuc-

cessful and very expensive try at rehab. “This time he went on his own. When he went, he was so tired of this lifestyle.” Trisha said she never would have predicted opioid or heroin use impacting her community, let alone her own family. “I grew up here in Colorado Springs,” she said. “I never knew that heroin was an issue. Even as my kids went through high school, they didn’t drink or smoke or do drugs.” But Trisha said stories in support

meetings now begin to sound all too familiar. “The people I have confided in that my son is a heroin addict — I hear, ‘Oh, so is my sister.’ ‘Oh, so is my daughter.’ Everyone I’ve met says they have an addict in their family. But no one talks about it because of the shame and embarrassment. It’s a horrible drug, but nobody talks about it. … And there are not enough resources to help people here. Unfortunately, you don’t find that out until you have an addict.” CSBJ n

OPINION: SWEET

Lynne sets stage for Women’s Chamber honorees

hen Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne was in high school, women only played half-court basketball, because the conventional wisdom was that they weren’t strong enough to run the full court. Women weren’t permitted to run marathons and they certainly weren’t leading companies. “My dad said I had the choice of S W E E T three jobs: nurse, teacher or secretary,” she said. “Those are great jobs, but they just weren’t the direction I wanted to go in.” The message: Women have come a long way since then — but there’s still a long way to go, Lynne said. Currently, only one in 10 board members for Fortune 500 companies is female, and women hold only 17 percent of C-suite offices. “At this rate, it will take 100 years before women are represented at the same level as men in the boards and offices,” she said. “In Colorado, we’ve had 45 governors, but none of them have been women. We’ve had 49 lieutenant governors and only five of them have been women. We still have some work to do.” Lynne was the guest speaker at the Southern Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce’s annual Accolades awards ceremony. The program honors women in business, young professionals and the group’s active members. The crowd of about 400 gathered Tuesday to celebrate women’s contributions to Southern Colorado. Women should do three things to succeed, Lynne said: Speak up, take risks and support each other.

OTHER VOICES

Small companies, big community impact

t’s easy to think that smaller companies simply can’t have as big an impact on their communities as larger companies. They are often overshadowed in the news by large companies and conglomerates, and S T A F F O R D they struggle to be noticed for their good works. Here in Colorado Springs we are a desert for corporate headquarters. You might say we are a big city of small businesses. But the good news: Although our local businesses might be smaller, their impact is certainly anything but. With some creativity, local businesses can make a significant impact with nonprofit partners, while also reaching corporate goals in marketing, public relations and (bonus) a decreased tax burden. There are four primary ways that a small business can contribute to local charities and gain brand exposure: • Crowdfunding is an online fundraising platform that brings together the community to help fund projects. Small businesses and community members can engage to create a crowdfunding project

Jenny

or donate to an existing project. These projects are promoted through personal and professional networks, so you can ask friends, family and other contacts to support your ideas. Don’t believe it really works? The students of the U.S. Taekwondo Center have raised more than $300,000 for local nonprofits in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas over the past decade through crowdfunding. This past spring, its crowdfunding efforts raised $35,000 for Children’s Hospital Colorado-Colorado Springs. • Point-of-sale donations. Although we don’t have many corporate headquarters here, we do have franchises. And when franchises partner with their national organizations, suddenly they have the power to make the impact of a corporate headquarters. For example, one local Great Clips franchisee partners with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals on an in-store fundraising campaign. Through customer and employee support at 15 salons in the Springs and Pueblo, Great Clips has raised more than $50,000 annually for children’s hospitals. These types of partnerships are the catalyst that enable small businesses to be a big player in worthy causes like transforming child health. • Events, events, events! Many com-

panies have employee appreciation and business development events built into their annual budgets. These events can easily be turned into benefits for charity through very simple tweaks. An annual customer appreciation golf outing can morph into a charity benefit by soliciting hole sponsorship from your company’s vendors. The vendors will be happy to be in front of potential customers, and your customers will appreciate that there’s a “feel good” to the day, above and beyond a day on the links. Another example is BluSky Restoration’s annual “Clays for Kids” event, which is now entering its 14th year and benefits a child-oriented charity. The event is both a charity clay shooting event and a business development opportunity for companies working in the construction and restoration fields. • Partner promotions. We are so lucky to live in a generous and caring community. Small businesses can tap into this network by creating partnerships. This is easy to do. Think about the places you frequent. Most likely these attract

like-minded people who are also eager to support the causes you care about. Businesses can commit a certain amount of each sale or service to a cause, which increases business and customer loyalty. One of the best examples is Bristol Brewery’s Karma House. Every Wednesday, Bristol selects a nonprofit to receive $1 per pint sold during a designated time. The nonprofit promotes to its constituents, Bristol gets new customers, the nonprofit receives a check and Bristol gets a tax deduction — everyone wins! If you’re feeling like your small business doesn’t have the resources, time or manpower to make a difference, don’t worry. With the tips above you can leverage this wonderful community and advance the causes that are important to your company. Never forget the impact that your small business can have in Colorado Springs and the world at large. Jenny Stafford, philanthropy director at Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation - Colorado Springs, can be reached at jstafford@childrenscoloradofoundation.org.

Although our local businesses might be smaller, their impact is certainly anything but.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Olympic City USA – a smart choice for Colorado Springs

n a recent edition of the Colorado Springs Business Journal, John Hazlehurst suggested that Olympic City USA may not be the right brand for Colorado Springs. Really? Colorado Springs has a wonderful, small-town feel, but a heart and spirit as big as any top-tier city. We have Pikes Peak — a glorious mountain that beckons millions of visitors each year to reach its 14,115-foot summit by train, car, foot or bike. We have the spectacular Garden of the Gods Park, providing such stunning scenic beauty and geological history that it is consistently ranked the No. 1 or No. 2 park in the U.S. by TripAdvisor. We have the U.S. Air Force Academy with nearly a dozen areas open to the public to showcase the impressive young men and women that attend one of the most exclusive educational institutions in the country. We have more than 55 attractions and activities to keep visitors busy for weeks on end (if only Americans would use all their paid time off, but that’s an op-ed for another day).

People come to Colorado Springs for many reasons. Encapsulating that into a single, recognizable brand is no small task. If only there was a concept, or perhaps a movement, that could pull it all together. A movement that stands for excellence, friendship and respect. A concept that embodies courage, determination, equality and inspiration. If only such a thing existed, and Colorado Springs could be the destination chosen to share these values with the country. There is: The Olympic and Paralympic Movement. It is the most recognized brand in the world, with 95 percent of respondents correctly identifying the Olympic rings after the 2012 Games in London in a study conducted by Sponsorship Intelligence, a Publicis company. The Olympic symbol outperformed other global brands that work endlessly and spend billions to associate their products and services with concepts such as “inspirational, diversity, optimistic, excellence, global and inclusive.” The Olympic Games have the highest

COS should have its own brand John Hazlehurst is right on target. COS SHOULD have its own brand. We have been piggybacking on others’ accomplishments forever.

appeal and awareness ratings among the study’s respondents, especially among people ages 8 to 18. If only Colorado Springs could legally and officially use components of the Olympic brand to generate awareness of and visitation to our amazing city. Well, we can: In 2014, the U.S. Olympic Committee granted Colorado Springs permission to brand itself “Olympic City USA.” They granted this exclusive moniker to a city with a thriving sports ecosystem that includes: USOC headquarters, U.S. Paralympics, 23 National Governing Bodies of sport, the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center, two official Olympic Training Sites, the William J. Hybl Sports Medicine and Performance Center on the UCCS campus that will be under construction soon and the U.S. Olympic Museum, which will be completed in two short years. Our brand is an excellent catalyst for economic vitality. Our connection to the Olympics and the Olympic values is a huge asset that we have — and other cities do not. That connection and pride grows stronger every day. The Olympic Games have always transcended sports. It’s about people and their need to participate, achieve and excel. It’s about the beauty of the dream, struggle and reality. Failing and falling and getting back up again and again until we reach our limits ... and the finish line ... and the podium. It’s time that we align with this beautiful, recognizable brand to proudly declare to the world that we are about excellence and Colorado Springs is Olympic City USA.
